Presidents Councle

Many people do not know about or have not even heard of the Presidents Council. That is because it is specifically for the presidents of all the clubs and the captains of the sports teams. People may find no interest in the council for those reasons alone but truly the Presidents Council is very important for the clubs and sports at Rangeview High School and the events they partake in which effect the rest of the school.


In 2004, the Presidents Council was created by Mrs. Strouse, one of the performing arts teachers, so that presidents and captains could communicate and help each other out. With all the presidents and captains speaking to each other on a monthly basis everyone knows what everyone else is doing and how to help each other out. They coordinate with each other that way there are no overlaps and they can work together. For example, in the past Student Leadership and SIC have worked together. Another way they have joined together is through group community service projects that have been done in the past. One of the bigger ones was Project Cure which raised an amazing amount of money for the Rwanda Genocide a few years ago. A more current example is the Benefits Concert DECA and Student Leadership put on last year and will be doing again this year.

Mrs. Strouse and the council’s sponsor, Assistant Principal Osterhaus are working on reorganizing the Presidents Council this year. Mrs. Osterhaus said, “The Presidents Council meets on one Tuesday of every month and all the presidents of clubs and captains of sports teams are welcome to attend.” The Presidents Council is extremely beneficial to the clubs and teams who participate. The president of the council and the Student Body President, Mitchell Marshall said, “The Presidents Council is a really good opportunity for students to be able to convey their ideas to administration.” Being able to speak with someone from administration their ideas can become reality sooner because of administrative approval. The Presidents Council will make school events, fundraising, and charity opportunities more enjoyable and efficient.
